Besar River, on the west coast of Malaya. But the enemy had forced a path down the peninsula by throwing increasingly superior numbers against the Australians and other defense units until they were at a point where modern long-range guns could easily bombard the straits and the north shore of Singapore Island. The Japanese field artillery, however, was not able to fire as far as the straits and the Imperials were fighting to hold their present defense lines in order to prevent enemy bombardment of the island. Japanese airplanes, however, were attacking British positions and the naval base area where they claimed to have done much damage and were attempting to enforce a siege of the waterways which still are opén to the British and across which reinforcements can move. A British communique noted increasing enemy air attacks in the last 24] hours and indicated that the city as| well as military positions were heav-| ily raided. Stripped for Action

The north shore of Singapore Island has been stripped for action! by evacuation of civilians and the British were expected to defend Johore Bahru to the last before] blowing up the causeway leading across a mile-wide water gap from the mainland. The most encouraging allied report from the southwestern Pacific

came from the Dutch, who reported |

that “lots and lots” of American air| reinforcements were arriving in the East Indies and that Netherlands troops were fighting strongly on four land fronts against the enemy. The Dutch said that they were keeping up their toll of one enemy ship a day and now had sunk 54 enemy craft since the war started, including a large percentage of the Japanese armada that was attacked by Netherlands and American troops in the Battle of Macassar Straits. Keep Up Ship Sinkings The Macassar battle resulted in new Japanese landings that are stepping stones toward the United Nations headquarters at Java, the important Netherlands’ tin islands including Bangka and Singapore. But the enemy fleet, estimated at 100 vessels carrying 150,000 men, was severely battered. The exact toll of Japanese ships has not yet been established. American planes and naval units

got 16 and the Dutch officially reported a total of 31 sunk or dam-| aged, including those attacked by| the Americans. This total includes duplications because some enemy ships were attacked a number of times, it was pointed out in Batavia, but at the same time it was believed that continuing onslaughts by Allied forces would increase the final reckoning. A British radio broadcast a total of 46. In the Pacific, dispatches from Hawaii said that the United States Navy, according to Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, was “swinging” at the enemy regularly and that the Japanese gains in the Pacific had been made at a high cost. Press Drive on Burma

“In proportion to what the Japanese have attained their operations have been costly,” Admiral Nimitz said. In Burma, the Japanese drive designed to cut the Burma Road

ASKS PARASITES T0 QUIT CAPITAL

President Suggests They Make Room for Those Doing War Work.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 (U. P.). —President Roosevelt suggested today that “parasites” get out of Washington to make room for people needed here in the prosecution of the war. The President suggested to a press conference that newspapers in the over-crowded capital blaze across their front pages this question to the public: “Are vou parasite?” A lot of people will wonder whether they fall in this classification, the President said.

Near Saturation Point

[s]

He cited a recommendation by Defense Housing Co-ordinator Charles Palmer that when the saturation point is reached persons unessential to the war effort shoula be asked to move out. The President elaborated by reto persons who are in Washington for social reasons, or because their children are here in school, or people who occupy 20room houses on Massachusetts Ave. Mr. Roosevelt said that under his war powers he could take over buildings and hotels, and that this

|authority extended to smaller types

of buildings.

defense workers out of Washington is another phase of the inherent powers of war, Mr. Roosevelt said. He said there are people who came to Washington just to have a good time, as they did during the first World War.

AMA. May O. K Ray Air Purifier

By Science Service CHICAGO, Jan. 20.—Ultraviolet lamps to be used fot disinfecting the air in hospitals, nurseries and operating rooms will, if they meet with certain requirements, be given the approval of the American Medical Association, it is announced here. The use of ultraviolet light for disinfecting the air in industrial plants, barracks, school rooms,

assembly halls, refrigerators and so on is considered outside the

province of the A. M. A, so lamps |

destined for such use will, apparently, not be considered for acceptance at present. The same applies to use of ultraviolet light for disinfection of solid objects, such as drinking cups, combs, brushes, shaving utensils, shoes and toilet seats. Ultraviolet light is considered by A. M. A. authorities an “uncertain means” of sterilizing such objects. A direct hit on the gérms by the ultraviolet light is necessary to kill them, it is pointed out. This would be difficult to accomplish on the edge of a drinking cup. Germ-Kkilling ultraviolet rays, moreover, do not penetrate easily, so that fingermarks or other contamination might absorb enough of them to prevent complete sterilization of dishes and the like.

GROSS TAX REFUND

ASKED BY FT, WAYNE

The City Light and Water Utilities of Ft. Wayne has filed at the State Gross Income Tax Division a petition asking refund of $77,266.82 paid by the utilities in gross income taxes during the years 1937 through 1941.

| Ft. Wayne City Attorney Walter! { Helmke said that the petition is a

preliminary step to the filing of a suit by the Municipal League or Indiana which will contest the validity of the Indiana Gross In-

|come Law in its application to mu-

nicipallv-owned utilities, Mr. Helmke said that the law applving to municipally-owned utilities will have to be declared unconstitutional before the Ft. Wayne utilities can collect any refund of taxes.
